From the author of My Sister's Big Fat Indian Wedding comes this hilarious, smart, and swoon-worthy rom-com about two teens traveling to Dubai for Diwali In this hate-to-love teen rom-com from the author of My Sister's Big Fat Indian Wedding, Nikki, an aspiring photographer, accompanies her family on a trip to Dubai to celebrate the five days of Diwali in style. It should be the trip of a lifetime, if Yash, the boy next door--with whom Nikki has a rocky history--weren't on board. Oblivious to the tension, Nikki's matchmaking family encourages Nikki to get better acquainted with Yash. Turns out a lot can change on a 12-hour flight beyond just continents. But can betrayals and conflicting ambitions be set aside long enough for the two teens to discover the true meaning of the Festival of Lights?

The setting is amazing, I wanted to visit Dubai the entire time I was listening! The author did a fantastic job, there was just enough details about the setting that you could perfectly picture Dubai without it feeling info dump-y/too much.
but the characters is where the story lost me. The fight between Yash and Nikki was so immature, for some reason the whole fight was Nikki's fault when in reality they both messed up and both wouldn't own up to the fact they were BOTH in the wrong. Their friendship was toxic as hell. HOW WAS EVERYTHING NIKKIS FAULT?!?!?!? Yash was painted as this perfect kid who did no wrong and it was infuriating since half of the time he started the issues.
<spoiler>It was also very obvious from page one that Yash was the one writing the webtoon she was obsessed with.</spoiler>
I just wished it was written differently. In no way is this a bad book and I know it will have its audience, I just don't think I was the main demographic! I feel like younger YA would really enjoy this, probably around 14-16 Y/O's!
Thank you Netgalley, Sajni Patel and RB Media for a copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review!
